Video: Joel Anderson, Matt Roe & More Rip Dusty eMTB Laps

‘We’re gonna get everyone together on e-bikes and have a good time’ is pretty much what Joel Anderson said to me when planning this video. The whole idea was to show why do you ride a Levo, or in this case any form of e-bike. We were left to interpret that however we pleased - so of course we had to run with that idea and make a bit of a parody as we don’t do serious round these parts. Matt Roe and Preston Williams joined the gang and along came Joel’s brother Isaac, best mates Toby and Ian for some bone dry action in the South West.

The dusty trains were unreal in the late afternoon light. Matt Roe pops out from the berm-to-berm and through the dust cloud.

Another one? Yeah, go on then. The efficiency of e-bike filming is brilliant.

Now I’m fairly sure I don’t know anyone who’s in love with e-bikes as much as Matt Roe. Run after run after run.

Not a scene I thought I’d ever film. But very funny nonetheless.

Laughs all the time with this lot. Such a good crack.



And that was that, Boys on E. Hope you enjoyed some vigorous eebing.

 Eeb - verb

UK /ɪəb/ US /ɪb/

I eeb, you eeb, he/she eebs. Eebing. Eebed.

Examples:
- "Come eeb with us, she said"
- "Eebing is gaining in popularity"
- "They eebed till batteries ran flat"

 These guys make "eebing" look very fun and Matt Roe just kills it on any bike it seems. I think I will eventually get one when im 40 and the pace of development slows down a bit and they reach maturity. If I buy one now its almost completely obsolete compared to newer models after 2 years and I usually like to keep my bikes for longer than that.
